Thought I'd bring this forward: https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Feng_shui Has this **** flown over to western countries aswell?

Would I Lie To You, series 8, episode 5, around the 18:00 mark. http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b04l3xr5/would-i-lie-to-you-series-8-episode-5 I thought it was pretty funny. I don't know who Kelly Hoppen is, but I love the evil stares she was giving Mitchell after "...I thought crystals...

Or Feng shui is not strong enough when the internet is around.

(with apologies to Michael Shermer.) I have some literate, intelligent and rather worldly friends that peddle some of the most credophilic nonsense known. Seriously. They will find deep meaning in a fortune cookie, and argue how it relates to their lives or accurately predicted some event. They...

Title: Tycoon paid $327m 'for feng shui healing' Subtitle: AN ailing Hong Kong tycoon gave her feng shui master more than $327 million in the hope that it would help to prolong her life, a court heard today. Link: http://www.news.com.au/story/0,27574,25707177-23109,00.html Excerpt...

This came up in a dinner conversation. How could a test be designed for the claims of a feng shui practitioner? Ideally it would be something along the lines of Emily Rosza's therapeutic touch test, where her entire investment was a piece of cardboard, a coin, a pencil and a tally sheet.

This cropped up on another forum I was suprised not to find it here too, but that may have more to do with the current reliability of the search function than the present state of reality. Nonetheless my question was this. How popular is Feng Shui in China? Would using Feng Shui in...

I sit next to this nutty woman at work. Now, I suppose it's possible to be both sane and intellegent AND be a "feng shui consultant" but this woman is neither. She just came over to me and asked if I wanted to see a Feng Shui cure. It's a picture of one of those curtain things that go around...

Heads up for anyone ready for a laugh, the episode of Property Ladder on TLC tomorrow Sept 1st, will have a person fixing up a house using Feng Shui and Numerology.. Should be quite an interesting show. Reminds me of the last time they had a show where the "Spirital Healer" talked to her house...

I read about a new book "Sell your house with Feng Shui" here: http://www.sacbee.com/103/story/341762.html What troubled me was that the usually skeptically-minded Sac Bee put this in the Business section; they usually put this crap in "Scene". Debunking Feng Shui is especially difficult...

Will of Asia's Richest Woman in Dispute (AP via My Way) Well OK there are the usual squabbles whenever billionaire estate is transferred. Lawyers are a cost of doing business. :cool:

I've recently been thinking about how space and "flow" are managed in rooms. I'm wondering if anyone knows of any scientific studies as to the best ways to lay out your house (maximizing space, ergonomics, etc.) I know there's a field of interior decorating, but I think that's more of an art...

In a store today I saw some carved jade pendants packaged as "Feng Shui" charms, each one supposedly good for "prosperity," "happiness," "good luck," "love," etc. One was called "unexpected miracles." It was a very pretty pendant, and I thought the idea of "unexpected miracles" a charming one...

"It's very experimental," Simona Mainini (feng shui expert) said. "We don't have any books on feng shui for monkeys. We just have to assume that Darwin is correct and that there is a connection and what is good for humans is good for monkeys." Funny; I don't remember Darwin saying that feng...

ANZ Bank is one of Australia's major banks. Take your money out now!

Found this article while perusing Google News: Could feng shui be the way to change City Hall? The First Lady of Allentown, Pennsylvania has called in a Feng Shui consultant to help rework City Hall. According to the article, because the town is in a budget crisis, major work will have to be...

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/06/27/web_feng_shui/ Had to happen. To be honest, I thought about creating a spoof website last year some time. I'm just looking through some ancient ancient texts to check up on his allocation of HTML to air and water to font an graphics. Anyone know what...

Hi folks I accepted the million dollar challenge t prove chinese astrology works as this is more logical and specific than western or vedic. I`m suroprised that a certain Geoffey Dean ignored evidence for astrology by Gauguelin on the grounds that people gave fake birthtimes to avoid the...

In a discussion in another forum someone said that Feng Shui is not at all like channelers or ESP, but "real" and "scientific". Go figure. Anyway, I remember I have seen somewhere about a study in which several Feng Shui "experts" went to a determinated place, they all said different things...

Though by its very nature it is fraught with misinformation, I have come to look at Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page) as a fairly objective resource, particularly when it comes to pseudoscience and quackery. It tends to give me faith in the general intelligence of the Internet...

I have to say that I saw the Today show segment this weekend on Feng Shui and I was actually optimistic. The "Feng Shui" expert didn't claim that Feng Shui had any preternatural abilities. Her discussions of "energy" and "flow" in context seemed to be discussin how a room makes you feel...

A co-worker of mine recently discovered feng shui and has set about feng-ing up her cubicle space to maximize the flow of positive energy through her workspace. When I scoffed a bit, she stated that it's a completely natural force of nature and there's nothing paranormal about it at all. When...

Of course, things will need to be moved about somewhat...

"If your horoscope is looking a bit worrying for the coming Lunar New Year, a Hong Kong company has just the thing to put it right: feng shui underpants. The lucky smalls have been designed by Yeung Tin Ming, a master of the ancient Chinese craft of spirit manipulation, or feng shui, and will...

Hi all Here is a letter that came in to Australian Skeptics ========================== I am intersted (sic) in a test to prove/disprove of the effectiveness of Feng Shui. I am a Feng Shui consultant and would like to take your challenge. I do not know how to prove that Feng Shui work for...

According to this uncritical link from the BBC a bookmaker was being ruined because of the arrangement of space. What I want, nay need, to know is what is the bad orientation of furniture in a bookies andd how can I surreptitiously achieve it to improve my odds of winning.
